Upgrade of Wet FGD Systems A lowcost approach to upgrade your older wet FGD system to meet today's performance requirements − Greater than 98% SO2 removal
The amount of surface system available for reaction with SO 2 ... (increasing the sulfur content of the fuel) will decrease SO 2 removal Increased SO 2 concentration causes an increased depletion of liquid ... 3 emission requirements may drive economics to dry FGD in some cases .
EPA452/F03034 Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet EPACICA Fact Sheet Flue Gas Desulfurization1 Name of Technology: Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Wet, Spray Dry, and Dry Scrubbers Type of Technology: Control Device absorption and reaction using an alkaline reagent to produce a solid compound.
has recognized Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD), a postcombustion removal of sulfur from stack gases, as a reliable and environmentally acceptable process. Capital costs for FGD equipment have been about equal to those of the entire boiler for a new unit (4). As such the process selection is generally made after a rigorous study.
Cost Estimates for Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems Procedure ... control requirements; high sulfur coal (%) with an SO2 limitation of lb/106 Btu (Federal New Source Performance Standard), and low sulfur coal (%) with an SO2 ... Sulfur content of coal, wt/% Figure 1. Incremental effect of sulfur content of coal on
size of the plant, the sulfur content of the coal, and the FGD technology employed. A 1000 MW steam plant burning % sulfur coal (a lowsulfur coal) with a spray dry scrubber removal efficiency of 70% may be expected to produce about 350 kt of FGD residue/yr (1).
Jan 01, 2000· environmental requirements. Part of this program is the demonstration of technologies, referred to as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes, designed to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from coalfired power plants. Emissions of SO2, a precursor of acid rain, are regulated under the provisions of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA).
collected from raw water intakes, FGD system wastewaters, and final discharges to the Ohio River that contained the FGD system waste stream. Sample data indicates the FGD Systems remove mercury along with sulfur but the removed mercury is captured by .
4. Flue gas desulfurization. Any source that installs any approved flue gas desulfurization system or other prescribed sulfur removal device must be permitted to use fuel with a sulfur content in excess of the limitations of subsection 2 such that, after control, total sulfur dioxide emissions do not exceed pounds of sulfur dioxide per million British Thermal Units in any 24hour period ...
The sulfur dioxide is absorbed into the spray and then precipitated as wet calcium sulfite. The sulfite can be converted to gypsum, a salable byproduct. Wet scrubbing is used primarily for highsulfur fuels and some lowsulfur fuels where highefficiency sulfur dioxide removal is required.
module requirements causes the dry FGD process to be more expensive than the wet FGD process. 2. Pumping requirements and overall power consumption are lower than for wet FGD systems. 3. Waste CaSO3, CaSO4, and calcium hydroxide are produced in a dry form and can be handled with conventional pneumatic fly ash handling equipment. 4.
removal rate for a dry or wet FGD for that installation year. As shown in Table 52, for FGD retrofits installed by the model, the assumed SO 2 removal rates will be 96% for wet FGD and 92% for dry FGD. These are the average of the SO 2 removal efficiencies reported in EIA 860 (2008) for dry and wet FGD installed in 2008 or later.
